Here a student can call up the registrar, pretend to be the professor, and get her incomplete changed to an A without the professor's knowledge, as I recently discovered. The (graduate) student had already graduated when I discovered this. I was wondering how she graduated with an incomplete on her record. I have access to the administrative computer, so I snooped around a bit and discovered the change of grade. Makes me wonder how many undiscovered improper changes of grade there have been.

My institution has decided that it is no longer necessary to get the Administrative signatures.And the prof can now remove the I by a click on the computer. I welcome this change. Comments invited.To what extent must you get Administrative signatures to effect an academic change at your institution?
